cash-conversion-cycle

cash-conversion-cycle is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from deciqAI/knowledge-skills. It costs 82 tokens per session (683 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A cash-flow measure showing how many days money is tied up between paying suppliers and collecting customer payments. It combines inventory days, receivable days, and payable days.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess working capital, shorten customer payment times, reduce inventory holding time, negotiate supplier terms, and test whether growth is affordable.
Why use it?
A business can show a profit and still run short of cash when stock or unpaid invoices consume money. The measure shows where growth is locking up cash.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

cash-conversion-cycle scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Cash Conversion Cycle — Why Profitable Businesses Run Out of Cash

Overview

The cash conversion cycle (CCC) measures how long cash is trapped between paying suppliers and collecting from customers: CCC = DIO (days inventory) + DSO (days receivables) − DPO (days payables). A long CCC means growth consumes cash — the faster you grow, the tighter you get — which is why profitable SMBs go insolvent. Shortening the cycle frees cash without raising a dollar.

The Process

  1. Measure the three components — DIO (inventory held), DSO (time to collect), DPO (time you take to pay).
  2. Compute CCC and see how many days of cash are locked in operations. Gate: if CCC × daily burn exceeds your cash buffer, growth is a liquidity risk, not just an opportunity.
  3. Shorten DSO — invoice immediately, deposits/upfront, faster terms, autopay, chase overdue (pairs with ar-dso-discipline).
  4. Shorten DIO — less/just-in-time inventory, drop-ship, faster turns.
  5. Lengthen DPO sensibly — negotiate supplier terms without harming the relationship.
  6. Model growth against the cycle — project the cash a growth plan will absorb before committing. Gate: scaling with a long CCC and no cash cushion is how solvent firms fail.

When to Use

  • "Profitable but always cash-strapped"
  • Inventory- or receivables-heavy businesses
  • Planning a growth push that will absorb working capital

Applying It Well

  • Upfront payment/deposits is the single biggest DSO fix for services.
  • Negative CCC (customers pay before you pay suppliers) is a growth superpower — design toward it.
  • Every day cut is cash freed with no dilution or debt.

Red Flags

  • Reading the P&L (profit) while ignoring cash timing.
  • Growing bookings while receivables balloon.
  • Paying suppliers early while customers pay late.

Verification

  • DIO, DSO, DPO measured; CCC computed
  • CCC cash need compared to buffer
  • Levers applied (upfront/terms/inventory)
  • Growth plan modeled against working-capital draw
